A small, remote Amazon tribe gained internet access via Starlink. However, modern-day technology has left the tribe bitterly divided over its impact on the community. According to the New York Post, elders of Brazil’s 2,000-member Marubo tribe say social media and pornography addiction have made a detrimental impact. One elder said younger people in the community have gotten lazy because of the internet. Remote Amazon tribe connects to Elon Musk’s Starlink internet, become hooked on porn, social media https://t.co/rI1S4Gagn4 pic.twitter.com/yulI2p7fBo — New York Post (@nypost) June 4, 2024 From the New York Post: The Marubo are a chaste tribe, who even frown upon kissing in public — but Alfredo Marubo (all Marubo use the same last name) said he is anxious that the arrival of the service, which delivers super-fast internet to far-flung corners of the planet and has been billed as a game-changer by Musk, could upend standards of decorum. Alfredo said many young Marubo men have been sharing porn videos in group chats and he has already observed more “aggressive sexual behavior” in some of them. “We’re worried young people are going to want to try it,” he said of the kinky sex acts they’ve suddenly been exposed to on screen. “Everyone is so connected that sometimes they don’t even talk to their own family.” Starlink works by connecting antennas to 6,000 low-orbiting satellites. The necessary antennas were donated to the tribe by American entrepreneur Allyson Reneau.

The antennas were donated to the tribe by American Entrepreneur, Allyson Reneau. The advent of the internet is seen as a positive too for the remote tribe, who were able to quickly contact authorities for help with emergencies, including potentially deadly snake bites. A member of the tribe said a venomous snake bite can require swift rescue by helicopter. Before the internet, the Marubo used amateur radio, relaying a message between several villages to reach the authorities. The internet made such calls instantaneous. “It’s already saved lives,” he said. Another member said the internet could give his people new autonomy. With it, they could communicate better, inform themselves, and tell their own stories.
